I was told that my 200 yard group with my vz-58 rifle wasn't good enough, that I had to fold a piece of paper in half, fold up the corners, then attach that at the neckline of the B-27 target. That was my target zone. You see, I was told a rifle round isn't effective anywhere below that zone. OK, I've never shot a rifle at a human, and hope I never do, but I did find that a bit odd. Whatever, gives me a reason to shoot at 200 yards again.
Like this, I assume. This is the first 200 yard group target, reused, that's why it has taped holes already. I recycle.
Happy day, we have security guards qualifying next bay and nobody on the 275 yard range, so out to the berm it goes. The bay above the berm is the other 75 yards. Good thing I remembered the camera this time.
Good grief, that's kinda out there, isn't it?
I'm gonna hit that with this?
All groups fired were done exactly like this, no benchrest, seated, I don't know if you want to call this supported or unsupported. That Israeli sling sure is comfortable...
OK, fire five, hold at head of B-27. I only have the one target, so I photographed it in place...carrying a camera and tripod 200 yards is interesting...
Can you see the new holes?
How about now?
Not too shabby, but one clean miss you can barely see over the targets left shoulder.
Let's try again.
Trudge, trudge, sheesh, who's stupid idea was this? Oh, wait, mine... :-
Uh oh, which holes were the first and second? Let's guess, and then mark the third group with II signs. Eh, I guessed wrong on one of group 2.
Ya know, I can live with that, seriously.:cool: Load is Hornady 123 gr FMJ over 24 grains Accurate Arms #1680, COAl 2.17, CCI primers.
So, I'm sorry, friend, I guess I failed your 200 yard test, I didn't hit the paper "neckerchief" once. Guess I'll never make a rifleman, oh well.
What's almost funnier is I spent 25 minutes to fire 10 rounds...that's a lot of walking...
